I found it interesting. Thank you for sharing.

Thanks for that, and the other clips on the site. As someone absolutely brand-new to filmmaking, every little bit of information is useful. I picked up a couple of things from each clip, especially the one on ADR. Much appreciated!

The ADR one is misleading. You don't need a studio to do it, the concept is to be able to re-record dialogue or change lines during coverage and reaction shots to improve or fix your movie.

Chain Video
 

Chain Video

A night in the bar with the award winners Volker Krieger (www.vk-videokunst.com Dortmund) and Sascha Dornhöfer (www.neuemassenproduktion.de Berlin) results most of the time in an empty pocket and a bunch of good ideas. Last year they have initiated a chain video as it is called. Krieger and Dornhöfer provide two initial segments that should be continued by videos of other filmmakers. All filmmakers worldwide are invited to participate in the project to create an epic work of art. All non-English videos must be provided with English subtitles. Films should not exceed 2 minutes and should be sent in as Quicktime format. A detailed set of rules as well as all other necessary information can be found on

Question
 

A question that is in no way meant to be negative. Just for my info. The shots of the girl over his shoulder. Do they break the 180 degree rule in that she goes to the right of the screen. Should the shots have been over his left shoulder which would have kept her to the left of the scree?

Vish, killer man!

Part 1 of THE BAG is online!
 

Hey everyone,

THE BAG is being presented in two parts. Part 1 is on the website now, and Part II will be up next Wednesday. The movie was a big hit at the Look At My Shorts III Film Festival. If you liked THE WARNING, you'll really like THE BAG. So go check it out HERE and let me know what you think.

Biking
 

This video is a documentary/comedy about a group of Bike riders at Michigan State University. All dialog inbetween is improv, and aside from me, it was every guys first time ever being in front of a camera. We had a great time making it and I hope you guys enjoy it!

Also, I want to point out the way the video is displayed to the internet user. I've suddenly become a huge fan of Flash video (.flv) for HD footage as the quality is very nice for the file size (this video is just a little bigger than 10mb). I used to use WM9 pre-HD footage, but now, it just seems like Flash is the way to go.

That had me crackin up. Bus was classic - i didnt see that coming with the little spot you did. Lots of good stuff here man - make a DV Info series of it man!

That was great stuff! Wonderfully done. Anyone who has ever been in a chat room will identify with that! Congratulations.

Good job. I really liked the CATA Bus. I read Jeremy's post before I watched it and I didn't even see it coming. I'm in Holt, just around the corner from MSU.

Short Film (Comedy) Shot on XL2/DVX100a
 

Here's a Short Film I did that was shot on a DVX100a/XL2
It's a Comedy about three friends that move to Las Vegas to begin their music career.

It won Best Directing and Audience Choice at last years 48 Hour Film Festival.

http://www.realmindustry.com/19miles.wmv

Hope you enjoy!

Dude, that made me cry. Seriously, awesome job!

Not too bad...


How long did it take you to shoot?

And what did you edit with? Just curious


Good luck! Rock on

I was drinkin from 10pm to 4pm (I usually shoot drunk lol....) and every hour or so we'd shoot like 10 mins worth of footage. I use premiere pro 7.0 and after effects 6.5.

wmvHD dvd for xbox 360
 

Can I burn a regular dvd with a wmvHD file on it and then play that DVD in an Xbox 360?

Yes or no?


THANKS

I'm pretty sure that was more entertaining than anything that I have worked on. Great locations and no glaring problems anywhere. The script was obviously the real success, but to get a decent production in 48 hours is a big achievment.

Here are my critiques:

Sometimes, there is too much room reflection in the audio. There may not have been anything you could do, but here is what I thought might be a fix in one scene. When you were in the "waiting room" on the dolly, you could mount the shotgun mic on the dolly itself so it is pointing up at the actors just below frame.

I wanted a bit more of a reason for the MRI machine. I think, maybe, that having the narrator say, "and then something happens that puts things all into perspective" as the machine is running would be a good cliche' and set up the line "He's really sick." As it was, I think there may have been too much time between the setup and the punchline.

If I try, I could probably find problems with the lighting and such, but if I didn't notice them on the first and second pass, they are irrelevant.

Estonian aviation event: planes landing on a frozen lake!
 

Hello everyone,

Here's my latest contribution to Estonian general aviation. Unfortunately we couldn't stay there for very long and I had to take all the shots rather quickly, but in my opinion they still came out pretty fine. Most of the footage was hand-filmed and the camera is Sony VX2100E. Once again I proved to myself that it's the largest camera I can have for filming in those cockpits. You simply don't have room to smoothly move the cam there.

Forced Suicide - XL2
 

Here is a short I just finished putting together.

It took me 2 days from script to finish

http://eden.rutgers.edu/~egabor/Tran...%20Suicide.wmv

I like the little jump cuts with the flashes.

just curious Elliot did you inform the police and the local residents about using the prop gun?. If not your lucky you never got arrested or even shot.

The Red Hair Scare
 

I've been making movies on and off for a few years now, but with this project I decided to devote alot more time and effort into production. All editing and special effects was done with trial software, and the entire project took about three weeks to complete.

Although it is definately amateurish compared to the incredible stuff in this community, I strongly urge you to cook up some popcorn, sit back and take a look at
"The Red Head Scare"

http://video.google.com/videoplay?do...red+hair+scare


Comments are genuinely welcome.

oh dont worry its ok, the gun wasn't a prop...JK the location wasn't somewhere that could be mistaken for something real happening, there were actually a lot of people around behind us for a kids birthday party I didn't mind taking my chances Also the whole shoot outside was under an hour so the gun was only out for like 15 minutes.

Even though I did not understand a *hit of what they said, that was awesome!!!.

lol....I hate using guns on sets. On one of my shoots the actor Terry Stone http://www.imdb.com/name/nm1316819/ was a friend of the london gangster dave courtney so he was a bit of a handfull, a realy nice guy though. We had a glock 17 and an AK 47, the glock fired blanks but the AK was the real thing that had been deactivated so obviously it looked real.Anyway he was running around the road with this Ak 47 having the time of his life. That was a stressfull day, I had to make up signs that said film set so the cars wouldn't phone the police and obviously I told the residents incase they were sitting in there houses terrified!.

Being swedish, I am sure I could comment on the grammar, but unfortunately I couldn't download?

That was pretty funny. How old are you guys?

No idea really... the microsoft developers site would probably tell you. Look under the Windows Media section and search around...

Thanks!

Most are 17, I'm 16, all Juniors in High School. Since we are all interested in film making, we tend to rotate acting and helping out with each other's movies. For the second year in a row, our movies have won 1st, 2nd, and 3rd in our school's film festival. Red Hair Scare came in second this year. It's not the oscars, but it gives us a nice incentive to keep ceating new stuff.
